What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. AUC0-72 of Linagliptin

    Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of Linagliptin in Plasma Over the Time Interval 0 to 72 Hours (AUC0-72). The shown geometric coefficients of variation (gCV) are the pooled intra-individual gCV - each over 2 treatment groups (FDC1000 fasted and L+M1000 fasted, FDC1000 fed and L+M1000 fed, FDC1500 fasted and L+M1500 fasted). The geometric means are actually adjusted geometric means.

    Measured: 1 hour (h) before drug administration and 20 minutes (min), 40 min, 1h, 1:30h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 16h, 24h, 36h, 48h and 72h after drug administration at Day 1 of each treatment period

  2. Cmax of Linagliptin

    Maximum Measured Concentration (Cmax) of Linagliptin in plasma. The shown geometric coefficients of variation (gCV) are the pooled intra-individual gCV - each over 2 treatment groups (FDC1000 fasted and L+M1000 fasted, FDC1000 fed and L+M1000 fed, FDC1500 fasted and L+M1500 fasted). The geometric means are actually adjusted geometric means.

  3. AUC0-tz of Metformin

    Area under the concentration-time curve of Metformin in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point (AUC0-tz). The shown geometric coefficients of variation (gCV) are the pooled intra-individual gCV - each over 2 treatment groups (FDC1000 fasted and L+M1000 fasted, FDC1000 fed and L+M1000 fed, FDC1500 fasted and L+M1500 fasted). The geometric means are actually adjusted geometric means.

  4. Cmax of Metformin

    Maximum Measured Concentration (Cmax) of Metformin in plasma. The shown geometric coefficients of variation (gCV) are the pooled intra-individual gCV - each over 2 treatment groups (FDC1000 fasted and L+M1000 fasted, FDC1000 fed and L+M1000 fed, FDC1500 fasted and L+M1500 fasted). The geometric means are actually adjusted geometric means.

    Measured: 1 hour (h) before drug administration and 20 minutes (min), 40 min, 1h, 1:30h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 16h, 24h, 36h, 48h and 72h after drug administration at Day 1 of each treatment period

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. AUC0-infinity of Linagliptin

    Area under the concentration-time curve of Linagliptin in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity based on predicted last concentration values. The shown geometric coefficients of variation (gCV) are the pooled intra-individual gCV - each over 2 treatment groups (FDC1000 fasted and L+M1000 fasted, FDC1000 fed and L+M1000 fed, FDC1500 fasted and L+M1500 fasted). The geometric means are actually adjusted geometric means.

    Measured: 1 hour (h) before drug administration and 20 minutes (min), 40 min, 1h, 1:30h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 16h, 24h, 36h, 48h and 72h after drug administration at Day 1 of each treatment period

  2. AUC0-infinity of Metformin

    Area under the concentration-time curve of Metformin in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity based on predicted last concentration values. The shown geometric coefficients of variation (gCV) are the pooled intra-individual gCV - each over 2 treatment groups (FDC1000 fasted and L+M1000 fasted, FDC1000 fed and L+M1000 fed, FDC1500 fasted and L+M1500 fasted). The geometric means are actually adjusted geometric means.

    Measured: 1 hour (h) before drug administration and 20 minutes (min), 40 min, 1h, 1:30h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 16h, 24h, 36h, 48h and 72h after drug administration at Day 1 of each treatment period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 2x500 mg Metformin (Glumetza), 5 mg Linagliptin/1000 mg Metformin FDC and 5 mg Linagliptin (Tradjenta) in people with Healthy, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Aug 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

AUC0-72 of Linagliptin (time frame: 1 hour (h) before drug administration and 20 minutes (min), 40 min, 1h, 1:30h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 16h, 24h, 36h, 48h and 72h after drug administration at Day 1 of each treatment period). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Aug 2014.
